AVALON Catheter Solutions Nordson MEDICAL offers polymer science, unique engineering technology and innovation to provide new and distinctive Avalon custom catheter solutions for medical device companies. Customer ideas quickly take shape into robust, feature-rich, quality medical devices. Since 1990 we have been recognized as the leader in the manufacture of wire reinforced cannulae for cardiac surgery. Over eighty percent of the cannulae used worldwide are produced at one of our FDA registered manufacturing sites. Nordson MEDICAL utilizes liquid polymers to produce reinforced tubing for medical devices. Polymer solution casting can achieve both flexibility and pushability along a catheter shaft by utilizing polymer layers to encapsulate multiple components and reinforcements such as braids, coils and hypotubes. This technology lends itself to varying wall thicknesses and diameters along the length of the device in a single piece construction while maintaining tight tolerances. 2610 E.
